Margaret Mahy by Samantha Calvert


Margaret Mahy is a talented writer.She writes for all ages.

Margaret loves to write books so much she is now working in a childrens library in Christchurch.

She was born in Whakatane in 1936 and wrote her first story at the age of seven.

Margaret being the oldest of a family of five is maybe why family life dominates most of her stories.

She does not make all of her characters the same but sometimes they can be a bit bizarre and she does not use similes or metaphors.

Margarets settings are different and her problems are unusual.

I like her so I hope you like her to.
